Chapter 427: Western Liangxing (59)

"It's... What's going on here??? ”

Sun Fu was stunned and shouted in surprise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A horse rushed from afar, and replied: "My lord, the enemy army poured fire oil and ignited the fire, our army..." ”

"Quick, Mingjin retreats!"

Bell, bell, bell...

Mingjin's horn sounded, and all the soldiers besieging the city in front retreated, but only one hundred and ten people came back, pushing five trebuchets, and pitifully walked to Sun Fu and Li Dejiang.

The army of 5,000 went out, and less than one-fiftieth returned, and if it were not for the trebuchet far away, I am afraid that they would also be poisoned.

By this time, it was no longer useful to collect the troops, and the soldiers besieging the city had all been shattered.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! This Han Wu.... ”

Li Dejiang roared loudly, looked at the retreating trebuchet, and waved his hand to retreat.

"Brother Sun, it seems that you can't attack the city today..."

Sun Fu hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and he was still staring at the fire burning in front of him, and the soldiers were struggling in the fire, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Hearing this, Sun Fu sighed heavily and said, "Alas, if I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have gone out of the siege tower, this is what I spent a lot of money to collect." ”

"It's just burned down, it's a pity, it's a pity..."

Gradually, I saw that the five siege towers were also annihilated by the fire, and in a crackling and popping sound, they shrank and fell down the tower.

Seeing this scene, the mood of Luo Yi, Han Wu and others was the opposite of Sun Fu and Li Dejiang, the fall of the siege tower meant that the battle to defend the city in the future would be much easier.

"Hahaha... Burn well! ”

Luo Yi laughed: "Han Wu, you really destroyed the five siege towers, you have contributed a lot to this battle." ”

Han Wu said calmly: "I said before I defended the city that I would hold on for two months, this is only one month, the general doesn't have to be happy too early, wait for two months to finish, and then praise it." ”

Shan Fei said: "With your trick, are you afraid that you won't be able to hold it for two months?" I can keep it for a year... ”

"Alright, the battle is over, I'm going back to stand guard again."

After finishing speaking, Shan Fei entered the city, Luo Yi and the others did not stop him, and let Shan Fei leave. Flying here alone is to deal with Pan Long, Pan Long has retreated, and it is useless to stay.

"Ugh...."

There was still a fire burning under the city, Han Wu sighed and said, "This is exactly what I'm worried about, although the fire is easy to use, it can only be used once, in the future..." ”

Luo Yi said: "Why? ”

Han Wudao: "The fire oil we poured just now is already all the fire oil in Yincheng, and we can't take it out in the future, so the fire can only burn so once." ”

Luo Yi suddenly realized, no wonder Han Wu said that it was a trick, and he could only use it once, but wouldn't he be absolutely useless.

Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "It's a pity. ”

"However, this trick can be used as a model for defending the city in the future, and whoever defends the city must prepare more fire oil in case of emergency."

Luo Yi found that Han Wu was simply a treasure, whether it was a field battle, a city defense battle, or a small battle station, he was very handy, he was really a general, such a general, he had to find a way to win him over.

No wonder Zhou Gandang is reluctant, who is it, it's the same.

The fire broke out, the enemy retreated, and the battle subsided.

It didn't take long to see the enemy army slowly retreat and leave the silver city.

Luo Yi, Zhao Wenxian, and Zhao Wenyong stood on the city tower for a long time, and then turned around and left, while Han Wu stayed, cleaned up the battlefield, and continued to defend the city.

In this battle, compared to the battle a few days ago, the losses were slightly larger, the enemy army was 5,000, and the casualties under Han Wu's command reached 1,03, which is not a rough estimate, and maybe more.

...........

The Battle of Qinglong Pass, the Battle of Yincheng, no one noticed that at this time, an army of 200,000 people, with dozens of huge ships, passed through the state and province, left Jincheng to reach Wuyang, and then galloped into the Yangtze River...

The process was very difficult, they could not walk during the day, they could only be transported at night, and when it was dark, the army could move forward, and they could not be discovered by anyone by leaning against the mountains, and when it was daytime, they would rest in the woods.

Fortunately, Xiliang is rarely populated, and there are mountains as a cover, so he barely hides his figure.

Of course, it's not that no one knows that the army of 200,000 people, even if they walk at night, the people along the way have found out, but after all, it is the people of Xiliang, and this news will not reach outside Qinglong Pass anyway.

After walking for a month, the 200,000-strong army finally entered the Yangtze River...

Ninety warships, each of which could carry 3,000 soldiers, and the surplus carried grain, grass, weapons, and horses. Mighty and mighty, go to Jiangnan.

On this day, there was another big battle in Qinglong Pass.

After the Tang army arrived at Qinglong Pass, they stayed for many days, and the follow-up grain, grass, and equipment arrived one after another, including the siege towers and trebuchets necessary for the siege, which were also transported; This is also the reason why Cheng Yanjin did not order a direct siege of the city before, and now that these things have been transported, it is time to attack the city.

Originally, everyone agreed that the capture of Qinglong Pass needed to be outwitted, and the cost of attacking the city was too great, but these days, with everyone's understanding of Du Ran, Marshal of Xiliang, Du Ran was completely unable to splash water and listen to words, so he recognized that he would not go out of the city, holding 80,000 iron horses, and he was afraid of field battles.

"This Du Ran, when I catch him, I must open his head to see what it is made of, and be careful like this..."

Wei Chigong said disdainfully: "I want to have 80,000 iron horsemen, and I would have gone out of the city for a decisive battle a long time ago, he can really sit still." ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled bitterly: "So, you always lose battles." ”

The army slowly marched to the front line, stopped outside the Qinglong Pass, set up a position, and prepared for the siege.

Du Ran came to the head of the city, saw the formation under the city, and said: "It seems that today, the Tang army is really going to attack the city." ”

After thinking about it, Du Ran said: "Pass the order, prepare to defend the city, and don't let the enemy take advantage of it." ”

Of the four or five generals beside him, two of them took the order, and one of them said: "Don't worry, marshal, the brothers have long been ready to defend the city, but I am afraid that they will not come." ”

"Humph! Dare to fight Qinglong Pass, they are doomed! ”

Another said: "Hehe... Is Qinglong Pass so easy to capture, not to mention that we have more than 200,000 troops to garrison, even if there is none, the garrison of Qinglong Pass is enough for them to consume. ”

The sturdiness of Qinglong Pass made all the generals full of confidence.

In fact, these days, except for the vanguard general Wu Qing, all the generals have suggested to Du Ran that they should take 80,000 iron horsemen to kill, or go to rob the camp, such a powerful military force will definitely be able to make contributions, but Du Ran has repeatedly objected, so he did not give an order, and has been delayed until now.

"What about Wu Qing, where is Wu Qing?"

Du Ran suddenly shouted.

A general next to him said, "Marshal, General Wu has just gone to the school field, and he should be able to come soon." ”

"Well, go and deliver the message, and let him come at once."

The man asked, "What is the matter with the marshal?" ”

Du Ran pointed to the enemy army under the city with a smile on his face and said, "Look at the Tang army outside, do you find anything?" ”

"No, isn't it the same as before?"

Du Ran rolled his eyes and said, "If you weren't stupid, you wouldn't even be able to see this." I'm going to ask Wu Qing, he must know. ”

The generals next to him all looked bitter.
